[Mono-winforms-list] another forms problem

[kangaroo]

BTW; just as an update

aside from the cairo changes one I (or a nice contributor????) writes a 
keyboard driver we should be doing well.  We need on the OSX front to 
wait on some changes to the io-layer (which are coming) but the driver 
is rapidly approaching parity with the X11 driver (performance needs 
some loving at some point and a minor refactor to split some code out 
into logical other places) but for feature completeness we're (_pretty 
much_) feature compatible with the X11 driver.
